For the past few chapters, we have been learning about Ethereum blockchain, its uses, and how it has shaped the decentralized technology, not for just currency based uses but also for other industry verticals. Further, we learned about development on top of the Ethereum blockchain, using smart contracts.
In the previous chapter, we discussed Solidity—the programming language introduced by the Ethereum foundation. Solidity is the language that makes it possible to create decentralized applications on top of Ethereum blockchain, either to be used for creating another cryptocurrency token or for any other use case in which blockchain can have an essential role.
In this chapter, we will be specifically working on Ethereum development, which constitutes creating a token that represents a smart contract. We will be creating a coin or a token that will run...
